If you love Hawke and Charlotte in book one, you are going to love Caine and Emery in book two. The backdrop of the book is corruption at a high level. Caine reaches out to his long time friend Hawke for help when he has to run from Washington DC.
Caine is wanted for murder and Emery is left penniless when her father is sent to jail. The trouble these two find themselves in is linked together unbeknownst to them. They meet at Syn Hawke’s BDSM nightclub. Sparks fly when these two are together.
I loved that author Anise Storm kept the characters from the first book in the second book with more than a passing reference. If you haven’t yet read this series. I highly recommend them.

Caine is book two in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. Dangerous, delicious and dastardly are just a couple descriptive words to convey just a tad of what this book captured. Anise Storm is a masterclass storyteller and her words draw you in and captivate endlessly. Caine, all round bad guy, and Emery, the princess, make a very intriguing couple. Their path was paved in passionate and powerful clashes. Both have battles to fight, and as they learn more of one another, their feelings blossom into ever after together. I hung off every word and the fast paced story kept me breathless and hungry for more. Caine has left a lasting and heartfelt memory, and left me feeling ready for the next drama. 5 stars.

Caine is the second book in The Men of Syn Series by Anise Storm. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book ever since devouring ‘Hawke’ (Book One). So, to say I had high expectations would be a bit of an understatement. Caine is on the run and is offered sanctuary at his friend Hawke’s BDSM club, SYN. (We met Hawke back in book one and got to see some of the inner workings of Syn back there). Being wanted for murder means he needs to keep his head down and keep a low profile until he can clear his name. But things take an unexpected turn when he encounters Emery. Emery’s life was turned upside down in an instant. He ‘perfect’ world destroyed when her father is implicated in a scandal. Her life as a rich, spoiled society princess crumbles and she falls from her throne- all the trappings of her former life are gone, and she’s completely broke. Emery is determined to find a way to clear her father’s name and regain everything they lost. Then she meets Caine who brings his own complications to the mix. Get set for one heck of a hot and steamy ride here. Add in more than a few secrets that threated to destroy everything as well as bringing danger and intensity into the already combustible mix. This has taken my ‘Men of SYN’ addiction and amped it up to a whole new level! Can’t wait to get my hands on Book #3!!!

Caine by Anise Storm is the 2nd book in the Men of Syn series. In this installment, we follow the story of Caine, who has run to Denver to escape false accusations of the murder of his father. Here is turns to his friend Hawke, who helps Caine by offering employment in Syn, the BDSM club. This is where Caine meets Emery Wilder, a socialite living off her fathers wealth who’s never worked a day in her life. Emery is taken by surprise when she is removed from her penthouse home due to her father’s criminal accusations that freeze his assets. Emery is left with only some clothing and her car, which breaks down late at night in the middle of no where. Caine comes in as her savior this night and they grow a relationship that is steamy and unique. I enjoyed this book better then the first one mainly because of the characters. Emery at first is a spoiled girl but she grows into the situation that she found herself in. She wasn’t down on herself the entire story and I appreciate a character with growth. Caine is a protector and his love for Emery shines through. Great series by Anise Storm.

This is the 2nd book in the Men of Syn series. I really love these books. I love the dark gripping side along with the romance which catches you by surprise. The characters are really well written and your opinion of them changes as the book progresses.
Caine is running away from his life in D.C. After his father is found murdered and he becomes prime suspect. He runs to his mate Hawke who gives him somewhere to work and lay low while he tries to solve the murder of his father. While he’s there he meets Emery. Emery is a princess who lives off her daddy. She thinks she’s above people and her attitude stinks. Emery thinks she has her life sorted until her dad is arrested for drug trafficking charges and all his assets frozen. Now Emery is homeless and broke and the person she turns to is Caine. What starts out as a way to distract herself and give her a bed for the night becomes so much more as the couple get to know one another and their relationship grows.
However things aren’t that straight forward and when Caine realises the connection between his fathers murder and Emery’s father’s incarceration they need to work together to solve the cases.
This story is gripping and a real page turner. You want the couple to be together and happy however sometimes the skeletons that are coming out could be to much for the couple to bear.

I enjoyed this suspenseful romance story. This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one if not better. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the first word. Her characters are unique and steamy. They are connectable and they brought the story to life on each page. They made the story fun and easy to read as well as hard to put down. I enjoyed their growth and chemistry throughout the story. The author’s use of details made their story realistic.This is Caine and Emery’s story. Find out what happens when these two have a chance meeting on a stormy night. You don’t want to miss this one, it is worth the pick up. This is a great story that I really enjoyed which I highly recommend.

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm is one book I have wanted to get my hands on after reading the first book Hawke. Anise has written these perfectly imperfect alpha men to give us a sexy, titillating and thrilling read. He is on the run and headed to his friend who owns the BDSM club, SYN to hide out. She has gone from an entitled princess to broke overnight. What ensues is hot, steamy, explosive and downright dirty. Secrets from their past threaten them both and will it be too much and keep them apart? I really enjoyed these two and even in the midst of trouble they are fun and their witty banter will have you smiling. I said it when I read the first book and it is true after I have read this book but I cannot wait for more Men of Syn.

Mysterious. Wanted. Murderer – Caine Stephens was considered all of those things. On the run, he enlists the help of his best friend, Hawke, who gives him a job to earn some extra money. While he was supposed to keep his head down and focus on trying to clear his name, that plan goes awry when he meets one of Denver’s quintessential society débutantes.
Spoiled. Entitled. Princess – All were words that once described Emery Wilder until her father becomes embroiled in a scandal that leaves her reeling and virtually penniless. There are no more penthouse apartments, designer clothes, or days filled with pampering. Without any of the luxuries she once took for granted, she is left with an uncertain future.
A stormy night brings the unlikely pair together in a way that neither anticipated. Emery is determined to clear her father and regain everything taken from her, while Caine is fighting for his freedom. Despite the risks and secrets, the couple begins to fall in love, but it’s not at all hearts and roses. What happens when the skeletons in his closet collide with those in hers? Is it too late to salvage the one thing they both want more than anything else?

This is the first book I’ve read by Storm. Hawke had me hooked from the beginning. Hawke is the first book in the Men of Syn Series.
Hawke is opening a club in Denver. He has a party planning company plan his grand opening. When he realizes who she is, things change drastically. The quote I chose for Hawke is: “I don’t want you, Charlotte. I never did, but it doesn’t change anything. You’re ingrained so deep under my skin that no matter what I do to you, I can’t get you out from beneath it.”
Charlotte goes to meet her new client and thinks he looks familiar. When she realizes who he is she has to decide if she wants to work with him or not. The quote I chose for Charlotte is: “Have you ever met someone who could push all of your buttons? If so, that would be Haeke. He’s so damn arrogant. I just want to knock the smirk right off his face. The problem is he has the uncanny ability to neutralize me with a single kiss.”

I had to read this book twice, TWICE. To wrap my head around it all – and it literally only got better the second time around. Charlotte Maxwell plans a club opening for a BDSM Club called Syn, but of course the owner of the club Hawke had taken personal interest in her. We follow the two watching them work and grow together. On top of the totally steamy scenes we also get a fantastic dynamic between the two of them, and their own personal character stories. While Syn is opening, there is a serial killer also in Denver. But, the killer might be closer to Charlotte than she expects. This book had me hooked from the jump. I would highly recommend to anyone! & I cannot wait for more books!

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) By Anise Storm. This book was everything I was looking for and more. This is a new to me author and boy am I excited to find her. While there is some issues written about that some might have trouble reading I believe the author does a wonderful job of writing those things. The characters are beautifully flawed and relatable each with a story that needs to be heard. I love a book in multiple POV because it really builds the story in a fuller picture allowing readers to get different angles of characters. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking. I won’t be forgetting this story anytime soon that’s for sure. And I’ll definitely be looking for more by this author. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it. Can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next.

Hawke (Men of Syn Series Book 1) By Anise Storm 5 Stars
Hawke by Anise Storm is the first installment of the Men of Syn Series. Charlotte Maxwell is a party planner and owner of Platinum Dreams. While on an appointment for a potential new client for a club opening, she realizes that she know who her client is. Nathanial Hawkins (Hawke) is a dominant and broken individual who has been through hell and back. He is a BDSM club owner and is opening a new club in Denver. He has hired Charlotte’s company to plan the club opening when he comes to terms as to who Charlotte is and what she did on their first encounter in his other club. There is trouble on the horizon for Charlotte, will Hawke set his pride aside and help Charlotte to safety? This story is very steamy and has some scenes that may have triggers for some. I was hooked and intrigued in this book from the very beginning and could not put my Kindle down. The story is told several point of views and keeps you entertained until the end. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

What a refreshing book! I haven’t read a story like this in a long time and I very much welcomed it. Hawke is the first book in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. Syn is a new BDSM club that has opened up and Nathaniel “Hawke” Hawkins is the owner. Charlotte is the party planner that is going to be throwing the Masquerade party for the Grand Opening. The moment she meets Hawke she is very drawn to him in the sense that there is something very familiar about him. Until she realizes what why that is, which is a complete shock to her and mostly to him! This book is mostly about both of them trying to stay away from each other but there is a pull that they can’t seem to fight. Hawke has a past that stops him at every turn. There is so much depth in this book but so much sexiness too. I truly loved the authors writing style and I truly can’t wait for the next book to come out!

A great read about the past. Hawke is trying to get a his new nightclub set up in the local area. To make sure it has the best and biggest opening night, he hires a party planner company to help him out. But it comes with a face from his past with Charlotte Maxwell. Can he overcome his past or will it overshadow his future? A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Hawke trying to build his business despite his feelings or Charlotte standing up for herself but vulnerable underneath. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like in Hawke’s office with the desk and chair all organised and a sense of control. Or the weather with its snow and slush and ice cold wild and untamable for a wonderful sense of contrast. The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in the chapter titles. The flashbacks and or memories were written well and didn’t disrupt with the narrative of the present.The only issue I would raise is that there were lots of long sentences making it hard to read and causing repetition in a lot of places. If this was reduced, it would make for an excellent read. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Anise Storm has given us an amazing read with, Hawke (Men of Syn Book One), This Erotica thriller held me from page one and until the very end which I was able to read in one sitting. Charlotte is a party planner and right away something seems familiar about her new client and it doesn’t take long for her to remember just who he is. Hawke was the Dominant who scared her just one year ago. Hawke, haunted by his past knows that Charlotte is off limits to someone like him. When she sees and feels the passion they have together, she will stop at nothing to show him just what they have together. Before long, Hawke will have to ask himself, can he put the past behind him and save what and who is future is taken away?

It’s been a while since I read a story with a hot and sexy dominant as the main character but I definitely got it in Hawke!! I was captivated by this book from the very beginning until the end. The storyline was extremely well thought out and flowed beautifully. I loved Charlotte and Hawke and the depth that their relationship grew to, I loved everything about them. There were some good twists and turns in the story and I really felt like I knew the characters well. The BDSM part of the story is pretty hard core and whilst personally I’m not one for this lifestyle it is only a story at the end of the day and the author did do an amazing job when writing the scenes. There are also some other more sensitive topics and triggers in the story and I have to say I only have praise for the author and the way in which this book is written. I think it is probably one of the best books that I have read so far this year. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I absolutely will be reading more from her – I was hooked from the moment I read the blurb and I cannot recommend it enough to other readers!

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) by Anise Storm is an erotic thriller with some BDSM themes. This story immediately delves into the suspenseful elements that make this an engaging story. Hawke focuses around Charlotte (the party planner) and Hawke (the client in need of Charlotte’s services). Once these two characters meet, the chemistry is off the charts despite either ones’ choice. Hawke is the epitome of a take charge male and he is not afraid to weld that at his desire. Charlotte is an independent woman who wants who own mark on the world separate from her family. The combination of these two is amazing. Then the author adds in some drama and suspense to add more dynamic and spin on the story. You’ll be kept on your toes as you go on this ride, hold on tight and enjoy!

Holy Mary Mother of God, this was one hot and steamy read! Where have you been Anise Storm?? I apparently have been missing out for quite awhile one some fantastic writing by the hands of Anise Storm and after devouring Hawke, my only solace is that I can recover my book hangover in the pages of the books that she has previously published that I have missed while waiting for the next book to come in the Men of Syn series. If you are new like myself to Anise Storm I believe you have picked the perfect introduction to her writing. This novel has it all. I was pulled in from the very first chapter and captivated till the very last page, often finding myself slowing my pace on purpose to draw in out as long as I could.
Everything is really set up for us in Hawke, where we in fact meet Nathaniel Hawkins, more commonly referred to as Hawke. He is one difficult man to say the least, not saying he doesn’t have his reasons or demons for being that way. I felt for him and everything has its place but this man will make you want to smack him and love him all at the same time. He is balanced rather nicely with the strong and smart Charlotte. These two have a second meeting like no other that will lead to some amazing reading! Throw in a crazy serial killer and hot BDSM scenes and you have the recipe for a wonderful novel. I absolutely couldn’t put this down! I can’t wait to find out what will come next from the Men of Syn! Thanks so much for the fantastic read Ms. Storm!

What a book! And what an incredible introduction to this author. Anise Storm has definitely made an impact and I will be looking to read any of her reads.
This book was everything and more, it was hot & steamy, it had suspense it had me on the edge of my seat, and totally and utterly intrigued and engaged to the story from start till finish. It was a book that really makes you think and a book that sticks with you, it does take some darker turns, but ultimately its what makes this story and its characters.
The characters Hawke & Charlotte were real, relatable and they had a depth to them, but can they overcome their personal battles in order to move forward and finally get a HEA? This is a book I highly recommend reading and I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this author.

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) by Anise Storm is a dark and intriguing erotic romance story that is set around a BDSM club, SYN. This sexy and thrilling read is well written and Anise’s descriptive writing makes it easy to image this dark and enticing world and what the characters have been through to make them what they are today. There is also a murderer on the loose and anyone could be his next victim.
The very mysterious Hawke is as arrogant and magnetic as he is broken. The life he was made to live make him the closed off and cold hearted man he is today. My heart literally broke for this beautiful monster of a man who had never known love, only ever abuse. Can he battle his demons before it is too late to save the one he loves?
Charlotte is a smart and independent business woman who is sassy and fierce and knows what she wants. When she learns the man who is going to be her employer for an event is the same man who literally left her hanging makes for a steamy, sizzling and heartbreaking time.
If you enjoy a little titillating, erotic read with a little darkness then this is for you. I cannot wait for more Men of Syn.

What can I say about MC books? I really enjoy reading them. The characters can never be the same. The brotherhood and sense of family. Those are the things I really look for. That and hot guys. The author did really well with the flow of the story. It was smooth and readable.

Charlotte grew up in a life of privilege. The only female in a family of four children to very rich parents. Whatever she wanted, she got. Thankfully her attitude isn’t a spoiled brat. Deep down, she knows she’s submissive and decided to visit a BDSM club while in Washington DC. A faceless dominant walked out in her leaving her humiliated. One year later, still trying to get over the encounter, she meets with a potential client who wants her to prepare the opening night of his new club. As fate would have it, this client happens to be the same dominant from Washington.
Arrogant, cruel and cold are words to describe Hawke. He needs to be to protect himself. He had a horrendous childhood and became a Dom to help him cope. He was drawn to Charlotte in DC and still is. She’s beautiful, vivacious and innocent. He’s obsessed with her but knows he’ll break her therefore he needs to push her away to protect her. No matter how much Hawke fights, the two are fated. Danger is lurking in Denver and has targeted Charlotte. Can the two survive Hawke’s past and the evil of the present?
There are scenes in this book that are graphic and may be a trigger for some people. This book is not for everyone. No child should have to endure what Hawke did. My heart broke for him. It fully explains why he is the way he is. This was an intense, dark story.

Based on the blurb, I expected this story to be much lighter than it is. This is as dark story that screws with the mind as it progresses. There are lots of elements that are in this story, from BDSM, abuse, exploration and redemption and self forgiveness.
Told in multiple points of view, I did find myself skimming some of the “darker” parts.
This is a series starter and the first book I’ve read by this author and I will be reading future stories.

From the summary I knew that this book would be one that didn’t fall within my normal reading queue. That said, the author, for me, didn’t belittle or make light of the lifestyle she explored. The characters were relatable and complex. The relationship between the main characters was well established and layered. The plot had a natural ebb and flow to it. I connected to the characters insomuch that I cared about them and wanted to know how things would resolve. A very good read and one I look forward to seeing continue in future books of the series.

Hawke was an exotic, romantic, erotic, and action packed novel that was addicting from start to finish. Word of caution though it does have mention of rape, a use, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction in the storyline. Hawke comes from a brutal past but has turned what he knows into something productive. Through his BDSM club he opens he is able to find an outlet that is until Charlotte sets him into a tail spin. Her character is a blessing and the affect she has on Hawke was astounding. The two characters changed quite a bit as the story progressed. Also the serial killer really surprised me. I mean wow! Totally not what I was expecting. This novel was amazing and I loved everything about it. I highly recommend it!

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) By: Anise Storm 5 out of 5 stars
The story Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) by Anise Storm is a book that had me hooked from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Charlotte Maxwell and Nathaniel Hawke. Charlotte is a woman who is determined to be independent. She runs her own business. She realizes that her latest client is someone from her past. She finds him handsome however also if asked she would say he is rude and arrogant. Nathaniel is a man with a dark past. He also can’t stop thinking about Charlotte. She is different, makes him feel different. He knows that his wants her, he tries to keep her at arm’s length. Charlotte is determined to prove to Nathaniel that there is something between them. What does the future hold for Nathaniel and Charlotte? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are some very steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. There is also some moments that are suspenseful and had me wondering what was going to happen next. This is a book that you don’t want to miss out on. The characters are well-developed. I came to care about Charlotte and Nathanial with each chapter that I read. This is a story that I would recommend reading.

You don’t want to miss this one. A must read book!

Arrogant. Sexy. Eerily Familiar – All were true when it came to Charlotte Maxwell’s newest client in need of a party planner. She experienced deja vu the moment she met the sexy club owner, and soon realized that he was the faceless Dominant responsible for the most mortifying night of her life just one year earlier.
Beautiful. Innocent. Submissive – Nathaniel ‘Hawke’ Hawkins knew the gorgeous blonde was off limits to him the moment he realized their connection. He’d allowed her to get under his skin once, but he was determined to hold her at arm’s length this time. Of course, that was much easier said than done once passion erupts between them at the masquerade party.
Addictive. Obsessive. Dangerous – While Hawke remains haunted by skeletons from his own past, Charlotte is determined to show him there is something between them. In denial about his growing attraction for her, someone much more sinister develops his own deadly obsession with Charlotte. Will Hawke be able to conquer his own demons before his potential future is taken away from him?
